  • Add water a little at a time. Only as much is required to grind the chutney to a smooth consistency.
  • Grind it to a smooth or semi-coarse consistency as desired.
  • Remove it in a clean bowl.

Tempering

  • Heat oil in a small wok or pan.
  • Once heated add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chilly and urad dal.
  • Let the mustard seeds splutter and slightly mix everything in the pan.
  • Let the dal cook for a few seconds until it starts to change colour.
    Making of Tempering for chutney
  • Now pour the mixture over the chutney and mix.
  • Serve it with breakfast or as a aside.

Notes

  • As it has fresh coconut, Keep it refrigerated and make it in small batches.
  • If using frozen coconut slices, defrost them.
  • If you are in a hurry, you can use hot water too to defrost. Using hot water at times releases the milk of coconut and the texture of chutney changes.
  • Desiccated coconut can be used. Taste and texture will differ.
  • Measurement of ingredients is just a rough guide. One can change as per requirement.
